What University Looks like in Your Eyes? 你眼里的大学是什么样子的?

August 29, 2021  

When I chatted with my friend one day, she said that She was very anxious about not only the social relations of university, but also what she can do after graduation.

有一天,当我和朋友闲聊时,她说她不仅非常焦虑大学的社交,也非常焦虑毕业后她能做些什么。


And I quite agreed with what she said. I have studied in university for 2 years, but even now, I still can not conclude what I have gained. I said to her that I gained my height and progress in grades in junior high, I gained better results and a relatively complete knowledge system in senior high, but I didn't seem to get anything in university.

我完全同意她所说的。我在大学里学习了两年,但即使是现在,我仍然不能断定我学到了什么。我告诉她我在初中的时候就获得了我的身高和成绩,在高中的时候我获得了更好的成绩和一个相对完整的知识体系,但在大学里我似乎什么都没有得到。


One of my friends says that university is a very complex place. No matter interpersonal relationship or conducting oneself in society, it is no longer so simple.

我的一个朋友说大学是一个非常复杂的地方。无论是人际关系还是为人处世,都不再那么单纯。


Another one says university is a place where there is always something unsatisfactory, a place to grow up and find yourself.

另一个说大学总有不尽人意的地方,它是一个成长的地方,寻找自己的地方。


And for me, university is a place to improve myself and let me find what I want to do in the future.

对我来说,大学是一个提升自我的地方,让我找到我未来想做的事情。


I think so because I know I will only stay here for a short period of four years, so I urgently want to get something quickly in this period of time.

我这样认为是因为我知道我只会在这里待上短短的四年,所以我迫切希望在这段时间内尽快得到一些东西。


We often complained that we couldnt find a job after graduation, but it's usually because we have grandiose aims but puny abilities.

我们经常抱怨毕业后找不到工作,但这通常是因为我们眼高手低。


Last year, Ive read a novel with a professor and a student as the protagonists. The professor said, “Because you know you'll only stay here for two or three years, you want to take something from here. But in fact, the place of University... Is more romantic than you think. You ask me what I see, and I tell you what I see. Do you believe that just as we were talking, a new nano robot was born in that building, making a certain human disease history? Do you believe that in such a normal noon, there is a genius in this group of children, basking in the sun and drinking cold coffee, suddenly, the boundary of human knowledge can move forward?”

去年,我读了一本以一位教授和一位学生为主角的小说。教授说:“因为你知道你只会在这里待个两三年,所以想从这里带走点什么。但其实大学这个地方……比你认为的要浪漫。你问我看到的是什么,我告诉你我看到的。你相不相信,就在我们说话的时候,那栋楼里诞生了一种新型纳米机器人,让某种人类疾病从此成为历史?你相不相信,在这么一个跟平时没两样的中午,这群小孩里有一个天才,晒着太阳,喝着冷掉的咖啡,突然灵光一现,就能让整个人类的知识边界跟着往前进一步?”


For me, university is the pioneer of mankind.He said.

他说:“对我而言,大学是人类先锋。”


These words make me think what I need to do and what I should do in university again and again. Now, I still have no answer. But I believe someday I will have the answer.

这些话让我反复思考我在大学里需要做什么和应该做什么。现在我依然没有答案,但我相信,有一天我会得到这个答案。


Although the university will not become what the professor said in a short time, I believe it will come true one day.

虽然短时间内大学并不会变成那位教授所说的那个样子,但是我相信总有一天会实现的。


All universities should be a romantic place.

所有大学都应该是一个浪漫的地方。
